Jiang Mingzhi was not sure when Ping'er woke up. If she heard his conversation with Lu Yun and it got out, it would be bad news.
"Ping'er." She thought for a moment and said to Ping'er, "No matter how much you heard just now, this matter must not be spread. Now we are together, and we will prosper together and suffer together. I hope you can understand this."
Ping'er felt a chill on her back when she thought about the few words she had just heard. No wonder she asked why the eldest lady suddenly got better. The story behind it was actually like this!
"Miss!" Ping'er nodded repeatedly, as if to prove her sincerity, and was so anxious that tears were about to fall. "Miss, please believe me, I will never tell anyone about this, even if it costs me my life!"
A loud drum does not need a heavy hammer. Jiang Mingzhi believed that Ping'er would not be stupid enough to spread this matter. Besides, even if she did, she had a way to clear herself from it.
Seeing Ping'er still standing there staring at him motionlessly, Jiang Mingzhi looked at her in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
"Miss, that man won't hurt you, will he?" Ping'er didn't expect that the young lady would meet a stranger here in the middle of the night. She still felt scared when she thought about it.
I didn't expect that she was concerned about this. Jiang Mingzhi was moved. He smiled and shook his head: "You don't have to worry. Your young lady is not stupid enough to let a wolf into the house."
Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Mingzhi yawned and went back to bed for a nap.
But before dawn, there was already a commotion outside.
"Miss, Miss!"
Zan'er ran in excitedly from outside, and before she even got close, she started shouting, "Someone from the Feng family is here to propose marriage!"
The teacup between Jiang Mingzhi's fingers swayed, nearly soaking his clothes. Qingtang couldn't help but frown. After Zan'er stood still, he calmly warned her, "How many times have I told you not to make a fuss in front of the master? If it gets out, people will laugh at you and think that the young lady is negligent in her discipline!"
Zan'er was scolded, and the joy in her eyes suddenly disappeared. She lowered her head and replied, "I will remember my aunt's teachings."
When he looked up again, his eyes hid a bit of displeasure, but he spoke more politely: "Miss, someone from the Feng family is outside to formally propose marriage."
"Have the Feng family gone mad? They still dare to come and propose marriage now?"
Qingtang couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of the tense situation between Madam Jiang and his young lady at Prince Jin's wedding banquet.
Jiang Mingzhi brought the finest sky-blue glazed teacup to her lips again and took a sip very calmly, as if everyone was discussing not her marriage but whether the weather was good or bad today!
Zan'er couldn't help but look up and secretly look at Jiang Mingzhi. Why does the young lady seem so unhappy?
"Miss, Mr. Feng is actually quite handsome and respectable."
"Oh?" Jiang Mingzhi looked up at Zan'er with considerable interest, pretending to be ignorant and asking, "It seems you know Mr. Feng quite well?"
Zan'er's face immediately flushed, "No, I just saw him a few times before, and he seems to be a good person."
"How dare you make such irresponsible remarks in front of the master?" Qingtang didn't give Zan'er face this time and scolded her in a deep voice: "Where have you learned any etiquette? Okay, the young lady's tea should be changed. Go and bring a new pot."
Zan'er's eyes turned red and she muttered something in a low voice. Jiang Mingzhi didn't hear it clearly. Qingtang just glared at Zan'er secretly and sent her away.
"Miss, do we really have to accept this marriage proposal from the Feng family?" Qingtang was worried and still felt that this marriage was not commensurate with the status of his young lady.
